7 Days Page #3

Synopsis: Bruno Hamel is a thirty eight year old surgeon. He lives in Drummondville with his wife Sylvie, and their eight year-old daughter Jasmine. Like many happy people, he is leading an uneventful life until a beautiful fall afternoon, when his daughter is raped and murdered. From then on, the world of the Hamel family collapses. When the murderer is arrested, a terrible project germinates in Bruno's darkened mind. He plans to capture the "monster" and make him pay for his crime. The day the murderer appears in Court, Hamel, who had prepared his plan in great detail, kidnaps the monster and later sends the police a brief message stating that the rapist and murderer of his daughter was going to be tortured for 7 days and then executed. Once this task accomplished, he will then give himself up.

We're identifying his ISP.

We'll call them,

it shouIdn't take Iong.

Yes.

It's up north in Charette.

He subscribed using a fake name.

Get the IocaI guys in there.

Yes.

We're at the address.

There's a laptop and a cell phone,

but no Hamel.

He's hiding somewhere else.

Hello.

With the gas?

$46.19.

I know who you are.

I'm with you.

Thanks.

You've been Iooking near Charette.

Because that's where he's hiding.

He called from there,

but he may not be there.

day 6

- He has to be.

He called his wife 15 minutes

after seeing her on TV.

In 15 minutes on a dirt road

you can't drive more than 25 kms.

Ok.

But it's still a huge area.

There are tons of cottages.

We'll put all our men on it.

We traced all Hamel's calls

to the Charette pIace.

He called TVATV just before we got there.

Who did he speak to?

We never thought they'd find

our little Laurie's killer.

Knowing that Bruno Hamel

has him prisoner,

we not only approve, we urge him on.

l want you...

...to make him suffer, Dr Hamel.

Make him suffer as much

as he made my Marion suffer.

One person disagrees,

the third victim's mother,

Mrs Diane Masson,

a widow who raised her Charlotte

alone in St Hyacinthe...

...until Anthony Lemaire ruined her life.

l think what Dr Hamel is doing is pointless.

lt won't help him, or me,

or anyone.

For me, that man doesn't exist.

That horrible event happened 4 years ago.

l went on with my life.

I'm all alone,

but I'm alive all the same.

St Hyacinthe.

Yes.

Diane Masson.

What you said on TV is disgusting.

Why did you bring me here?

For you, that man doesn't exist?

We'll see about that.

I don't want to see him.

I don't want to.

No.

I don't want to.

Let me go. Let me go.

I said Iet me go.

You bastard.

I don't want to go.

I don't want to see him.

No.

- Look at him.

Look at him.

That man doesn't exist?

He doesn't exist?

Look at him.

He doesn't exist?

Go on.

Go ahead.

I know you want to. Finish him off.

Come on.

Now's the time.

Do it, finish him off.

Kill him.

- I won't.

Kill the bastard.

- I won't.

Kill the f***er.

- No.

Finish him off.

I'll give you time to realize he exists.

Let me out. Let me out.

Let me out.

I won't do it, I toId you.

PIease.

PIease, Iet me out.

Let me out, pIease.

PIease.

PIease, Iet me out.

I'd erased that man from my life.

You can't.

- Yes, you can.

It's hard,

it takes Iong, but you can.

By bringing me here,

you destroyed that.

It's like...

It's like you killed my girl a second time.

Every time you torture that man,

you kill your own daughter.

Ow.

Hey.

Take me to the police.

Concentrate on waterfront houses,

by a Iake or river.

Forget rentaI cottages.

Masson's convinced Hamel

broke into a private home.

He's using Masson's car, a red Saturn.

We have the license pIate.

day seven

I'll go there.

It's an hour away.

I want to be in Charette when

they find him. Keep me posted.

F***.

Call Mercure. We found him.

Detective Mercure?

Sergeant Coutu.

We just called the SWAT team.

We'll move in now.

Yeah.

I don't want...

- He won't just wait for us.

There's been no movement?

Nothing. Maybe he's still asleep.

Call an ambulance. Tell them no siren.

Is this Hamel's hideout?

You found him? Is Lemaire dead?

No comment yet. Step back.

- Come on.

Keep those guys far away.

And make sure

they keep their mouths shut.

Here we go.

Is he trapped?

He's trapped.

It's her birthday today.

She wouId have been 9.

Bruno Hamel?

This is Detective Sergeant Herve Mercure.

You're surrounded.

Come out with your hands up.

Bruno Hamel.

Come out with your hands up.

Drop your gun.

Dr Bruno Hamel,

you are under arrest for kidnapping

and attempted murder.

You have a right to immediate

Legal counseI. Do you understand?

Do you understand?

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you.

I didn't kill him.

Dr Hamel?

Do you still think vengeance

is the right answer?

No.

So you regret what you've done?

No.
